My wife, Lauren, makes mosaics. It’s something she was inspired to do when we visited Rome in 2009, and she is getting to be really good at it. So when we were brainstorming new rewards, she came up with doing coasters with the Fireside logo on it. Here’s the prototype she whipped up:

Isn’t that cool?

Here’s the reward: for $35, you get one coaster handmade by Lauren (perfect for holding your tea, coffee, juice, beer, bourbon, or whatever while you read the first issue of Fireside), along with print, ebook, and PDF versions of the magazine. This will be limited to 10 people. You can see the Kickstarter and pledge here.

We are up to $2,322, which is 35% of the goal, with 18 days to go. Thanks as always!
